Givenchy’s SS12 Pastels

Its no secret that pastels are going to be the colour palette for Spring 2012 and Givenchys new collection has given this beauty trend an artistic spin.

Inspired by poppy fields and spring blooms, Givenchys spring summer 2012 make-up collection epitomises one of the hottest beauty trends of the season and in true Givenchy style, the products are almost too beautiful to use. The collection includes a pretty pastel palette, a pink blush and a classic red lipstick with matching nail polish.

Were making no attempt to disguise the fact that were lusting after the Le Prisme Visage in Bucolic Blossoms  it really is a must-have for the upcoming season. Mixing candy-coloured pinks, peaches, lilacs and mint green, the palette can be used as an eyeshadow or an all over powder. Dont be deterred by the pastel green shade as it blends easily into your skintone and with the built in shimmer, the colours mix together to give your complexion a fresh glow and work as an instant illuminator.

Givenchys Le Prisme Blush is much softer than the average blusher and provides a velvety smooth finish. With flecks of bold red, the powder highlights and defines cheekbones and allows you to channel the rosy cheek look effortlessly.

As this season is all about matching your lips with your nails, Givenchys red lipstick and nail polish gives the pastel shades a striking finish. Drawing inspiration from the same poppy fields as the palette and blush, Givenchys Artistic Director, Nicholas Degennes saved the boldest poppy shade for the lips and hands.

Whether youre gearing up for the pastel hues or want to stay classic with the statement red make-up twinset, Givenchys collection has something for all tastes. The collection is available now nationwide from Givenchy.com and starts from £13 for the nail polish.
